How do I get rid of these damn things? I have tried pop-up blockers, but they haven't worked.

the google toolbar helps. Otherwise you may have spyware: order a program called Ad-Aware from downloads.com

If you want to get rid of other ads then download the plugin Adblock. Very good stuff.

There is an option within IE that allows/disallows popups as well. It doesn't work so well though.

Netscape does, too. I find the tab mode makes it less intrusive, and if a pop up manages to get through, it can be quickly aborted before it has a chance to fully load.


Used to use IE all the time, but no more.
